Just wondering when/if BOINC is going to offer support for 64-bit systems? I'm running an AMD Athlon 64 and Windows XP x64 Professional, yet BOINC runs in 32-bit mode, sure would be nice to get the most out of this if possible.

The gain from running BOINC/SETI in 64bit mode is negligable so this is not a high priority on the to-do list. I'm sure it will happen eventually though.
